to happen. They continue to push for more money for Iraq while our children experience cuts
in education and medical programs.
.....newspaper, radio, and television journalists forgot about their basic duties to the American
public. Instead of asking questions and doing real investigative reporting, they just repeat the
"buzzwords" for the day. It is the responsibility of the media to ask meaningful questions about
policy, views, and issues. For example:
Why is McCain against a woman's right to choose?
Why is McCain against the New G.I. Bill?
Why does McCain continue to have lobbyists employed in his campaign?
Does McCain know how much it costs for a gallon of gas?
Does McCain still hate Asians?
Why does John McCain think it is okay to torture people, as long they are not Americans?
....people can't find jobs because the Bush administration has sent money to develop jobs in Iraq.
......our young men and women in uniform have died and suffered unspeakable injuries to further
the right wing philosophy of Neo-cons like Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Cheney, and others. As of
this minute, 4,036 Americans have been killed in Iraq.
.....Republican Rep. Geoff Davis (KY-4th) called Sen. Barack Obama "boy." Has the press reported this incident? (see Raw Story)
Here is the topper----President Bush approved torture. Washington Post:
President Bush says he was aware that his top aides met in the White House basement to
micromanage the application of waterboarding and other widely-condemned interrogation
techniques. And he says it was no big deal.
"I'm aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved," Bush told ABC
News' Martha Raddatz on Friday. "I don't know what's new about that; I'm not so sure
what's so startling about that."
It's true that it has been widely assumed and occasionally reported that the CIA's use of
brutal interrogation techniques could be traced back to the White House on a general
level. But it was most definitely new last week when ABC News reported that a group
of Bush's top aides, including Vice President Cheney, took part in meetings where they
explicitly discussed and approved -- literally blow by blow -- tactics such as waterboarding.
And while Bush has previously defended these tactics -- vaguely, and insisting against all
evidence that they did not amount to torture -- he had not, until now, acknowledged that
he personally OK'd them beforehand.....
